Nosy Coworker Gets Personal
Our storyteller’s husband, Vincent, is paraplegic and uses a wheelchair. They attended a work event together, where they met Miles, the new receptionist. Miles bombarded Vincent with questions about his condition, making everyone uncomfortable. Despite attempts to change the subject, Miles persisted, eventually asking about their sex life. Our storyteller called him a creep, causing Miles to get upset. Vincent was grateful, but a coworker thought she was too harsh. Was she right to call him out, or did she go too far?
